SoulCycle co-founder opens up her sprawling Hamptons beach home designed as a back-to-nature retreat from stressful New York

SoulCycle co-founder, Elizabeth Cutler, has opened up her family's sprawling Hampton's property, which the mother-of-two has carefully designed to feel like a verdant garden.

'When you live in New York City, the
articulation of "concrete jungle" is really true, so I wanted the kids
to feel like they’re in a place that is
in touch with nature,' she told Domaine.

The crisp decor of the sprawling Amagansett home is mixed with eclectic prints and whimsical wallpaper, full of blues and greens - and one-off pieces culled from Mrs Cutler's travels.

After creating the indoor-cycling

pool—it’s the center of everything.'

She and her husband Allen

even planning to go to the Hamptons that weekend,' she said.

'We both love the foundation of those cultures,' said Mrs Cutler, who grew up in Chicago and wound up in a monastery in India, and in a traditional japanese house in Kyoto while studying abroad from the University of Colorado.

'In
India and Japan there is such an appreciation for artisans and things
that are handmade—there’s something very appealing to both of us about
that.'
